So, yeah. http://www.vgmix.com Down for at least a week and a half now, based on when this thread over at The Shizz was created (there's no word officially about what's going on there either). Sad times, even if the site hasn't been in operating condition for quite awhile, it is part of the history of this community. Has anyone heard any confirmation regarding the current status of VGMix?

Just to add real quick: After Burner got an unlicensed port to the NES thanks to our friends at Atari Tengen (which was updated by none other than Sunsoft for a later Famicom release) so I'd call the 2A03 usage in this song kosher. Not that it wouldn't be if that port didn't exist, but there is at least a precedent.

So it was true. We can at least confirm that SEGA kept and used one of his compositions for the Credits theme.
2013 UPDATE: GameTrailers' Pop-Fiction did their own investigation into this and found that yes, Jackson did in fact compose some of the music that appears in the final game.
Liontamer EDIT (1/25/2016):
This great read by Huffington Post's Todd Van Luling finally and truly 100% confirms from 3 of the credited Sonic 3 composers that Michael Jackson made music for Sonic 3 and it made it into the game.

Great song. There's a couple of remixes of it out there:

(cool video of a 1990 performance by Taito's house band ZUNTATA)

So, just watched the premiere of the new Last Airbender sequel series The Legend of Korra. They haven't lost a beat in following the original series with strong characters, great writing, and amazing animation. Definitely makes up for that horrible Shyamalan abomination, and I'm really looking forward to more episodes. What do you guys think?

It's a VGM radio two-fer! Nitro Game Injection (NGI) is a discussion and music show where I'm joined by Larry "Liontamer" Oji to talk about the VGM world and other nerdy topics while also spotlighting game remixes and arrangements, while GameFuel (GF) is a more traditional VGM request show that I host by myself. Both are hosted on Arecibo Radio and are released after airing as podcasts on the KNGI website. NGI broadcasts live on Saturdays at 7:30 PM US Eastern Time. GameFuel is currently used as a fill-in show for NGI based on host availability. __________________________________________ Nitro Game Injection (NGI) is a video game music and discussion podcast that focuses on original soundtracks, remixes, covers, chiptunes, doujin music, game-inspired originals, and the communities that encompass them.

http://www.hypable.com/2014/07/24/the-legend-of-korra-season-3-final-episodes-online/ Korra episodes are moving exclusively to digital distribution via Nick.com for the remainder of the season, with the fourth season still reportedly incoming. Seems Nick is adamant on getting rid of this show as fast as they can. Lame.
